Expert Answer:
Primary, secondary and tertiary amines can be prepared by reduction of the corresponding amides.
LiAlH4/Ether
C6H5CONH2 + 4[H] ----------------> C6H5CH2NH2 + H2O
For preparing secondary and tertiary amines we need to reduce the secondary and tertiary amides.
LiAlH4/Ether
CH3CONHCH3 ---------------> CH3CH2NHCH3
N-methyl acetamide Ethyl methyl amine 20
CH3 CH3
| LiAlH4/Ether |
CH3CON-CH3 ----------------> CH3CH2N-CH3
N,N-Dimethylacetamide Ethyl dimethyl amine 30
